Breaking: Tight security as masked security men storm National Assembly

THERE is an unusual
tight security situation in the National Assembly, especially around the Senate
Chamber and the Foya, with masked security men taking over the place. It was
really surprising this morning for Journalists and Staff who same to the
National Assembly to see masked security men, bearing guns being deployed to
the National Assembly, just as this has however raised tension and panic. To
avert a recurrence of what happened penultimate week where some thugs stormed
the Senate hallowed Chamber and went away with the Mace, a masked security man
bearing AK- 47 was sighted this morning.

Across all entry points to the National Assembly,
policemen were seen mounting surveillance, just as a truck of Guards Brigade,
Police Armoured tanks and vehicles were stationed at the entrance of the
National Assembly, even close to the Federal Secretariat. Meanwhile, Senators

Inspector – General of Police, IGP, Ibrahim Idris. Ibrahim Idris is expected to
appear today over the arrest of Senator Dino Melaye (APC, Kogi) and the
killings in some parts of the country in line with the Order Paper. Details
